Things Worth Remembering.

When you feel kind of goneness about the stomach it is sign that your food does not sit we'll and that you arc about to have a fit of indigestion.
 When you begin to feel nervous and are unable to sit still comfortably; when your clothes suddenly seem to lose their fit and become too tight in places, the it of indiges- tion is surely upon you. When this fit of indigestion is repeated from day to day it finally resolves itself into dyspepsia.
 Chronic dyspepsia will surely make the happiest life hell upon earth. Remember that three to ten of Brandreth's Pills will cure the worst case of indigestion or dyspepsia, or both, and that regular course of them, say two every night for 8 week or ten days, will act as preventive of either complaint. seSdse9

 Yesterdays Hartford Courant says: The Hon. David Clark is entertaining as his guests in this city Messrs John Clark of Paisley, Scotland, and his cousin, MT. Robert Clark, who now lives in London. The gen. tlemen arrived yesterday and will be in the city until Friday noon. They crossed the ocean recently on the steam yacht Mohegan, the property of Mir. John Clark. It will be remembered that on the voyage the Mohegan rescued seventeen persons from wrecked ship. MT. Clark described the thrilling affair in conversation yesterday. The ship- wrecked people, including two women, had to leap from the wreck into the wild ocean and then were hauled on board the Mohegan's boat. Then they were taken on board the ped overheard again attached to ropes on the vessel on board of which they were hoisted.
 MT. John Clark is the active manager of the great Clark thread works, employing 4,5O0 persons at Paisley and 500 in Newark. N. J. He has the Mohegan, which he voy- ages around the world at his pleasure, and he has also near Paisley game preserve of 5000 acres where he shoots about 600 phea- sants every year. He is the commodore of the Clyde Yacht club and the principal and controlling owner of the Thistle, which is now in New York about to race the VoIun- teer.
 Both gentlemen, who came over to see the great race, are confident of the success of their boat.

ARRILLIANT SPECTACLE.

The Electric Wonders at Greenwich.
 A striking example of the power and facil- ity of electricity is found at the Greenwich home of E. H. Johnson, president of the Edison Electric Light company. His resi- dence, built in the old colonial style about a year ago, is located on the highest site, so near the coast, between Florida and Maine. Everything that electricity can do toward the daily labor of life and add ing luxury one finds here. The house is a brilliant spectacle at night for miles around, with about 500 incandescent lamps. These lamps, cunningly hidden be- hind stained glass, send a warm subdued glow through the entrance hall, and on going over the house, one finds them everywhere in the house with fixtures of every imagina- ble kind. They are lighted behind artificial coals of stained glass in the grate, and one would be easily deceived into warmth by their fictitious glow. Much of the work about the house is done by the ingenious ap- plication of this strange power; the ice is made, the horses are curried, water pumped to the top of the hoose and there are fixtures for keeping the house at an even tempera- ture of 70 degrees. The electricity is sup piled from 8 40-horse power engine, or from a secondary battery of 190 cells, giving 10- horse power current for ten hours.
